The Majlis Joint Commission decided to double marriage loans to newlyweds in the March 2022-23 budget. The commission is an ad hoc parliamentary body comprising representatives from all parliamentary commissions and responsible for reviewing the budget bill.
“Each of the partners who tie the knot from March 2018 to March 2023 will get 1.2 billion rials [$4,528] in marriage loans,” Rahim Zare'e, the commission’s spokesperson was quoted as saying by IBENA.
